Audiobooks

We've added a "Word" category in the Browse section of Spotify for desktop and mobile. Here you can find spoken word content such as stand-up comedy, podcasts, poetry and audiobooks. You can even learn new languages while you're at it!

"Word" is available in the United States and Sweden only right now but we'll be sure to update everyone on the roll out progress.

I've made several failed attempts to persaude Big Finish (who make high-quality TV tie-in and SF audio dramas) to test out the waters on Spotify, but they say it's not a platform that would suit them. Real shame that, I'm certain there are lots of Doctor Who fans who use Spotify but have never bought one of the Big Finish CDs!

Ya, it's nice to listen to an audiobook when studying, and it would be convenient if they were well organized. I know that the licenses can sometimes be free too. I just listened to animal farm online for free, no commercials, from a legitimate website, so it can't be THAT hard to incorporate.

Please bear in mind that the Community is not an official Spotify support service. It's a place where we all help each other, whether we work for Spotify or not. So please use your discretion when using the forum.
